    Hi everyone,

    After observing some of the recent exchanges on the list (which
    include chat room like one-liners and impolite language--both of
    which are discouraged) and some spam, and considering problems that
    we have had in the past, I am thinking of changing the list to a
    loosely moderated format. All messages will be approved by the
    moderator (who will read them loosely).

    Please let me know, preferably off-list, your thoughts about this
    change. In the past many have suggested that we have a moderated
    group, but I have resisted due to the hassles and the optimistic
    belief that group participants could police themselves. The latter
    does not appear to be the case. Also, our spam filters do not seem to
    be catching everything.

    TG
